Upcoming events and highlights

This Tuesday, Feb. 4, we will finally and hopefully (weather permitting for the 4th time) celebrate Senior Night against Beckley. The wrestling match begins at 6 p.m. with the Seniors being recognized and honored. Please come out and pay tribute to our Senior Wrestlers. This year will begin a TRADITION of the “COAL COUNTRY CHALLENGE.” A large Coal Miner Statue and Plaque will go with the winning team. Every year this match will determine the “COAL COUNTRY CHALLENGE CHAMPION.”

It will be a friendly but intense rivalry between Woodrow Wilson and Greenbrier East High Schools. Please help us build this tradition.

Congratulations to Jasiel Kinder’s brother, Isaiah, for signing with the College of William and Mary. The whole Greenbrier East Wrestling Family is proud of him.

EGMS UPDATE: The EGMS Wrestlers placed the highest in EGMS history at the WSAZ Tournament. In the past two years they have had seven place-winners. Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to get them in High School.
